IMPROVEMENT IN CORN-MARKERS, due.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it -known that I, J. P.'OLIN, of estfield, in the county of Medina,and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCorn-Markers, 850.; and I do hereby declare that the follo-wingis a fulland complete description of the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a side view.

Figure 2 is a rear view;

Figure 3 is a. top view.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the views.

In the drawings, A represents a frame, to which the corn-markersB areattached. Atop view of this frame is shown in fig. 3, which consistsof'the two bars A B connected together by the end-oars C. D is thetongue to which the horses are attached. Two of the markers B areattached to the bar A. These markers consist-of feet a secured tostandards, as shown, which are pivoted or hung in the bar A, the endpassing into aslot in said bar. To each end of the frame A is hinged, atF, the arm E. I In these bars aresecured the feet B, thus making fourmarkers at equal distances apart. H is the handle by which the apparatusis guided. If it is wished only to mark three rows, the frame at oneend-can be turned up, as shown in fig. 2, and if only two rows, bothends can be turned up. Thus this marker can be used for marking two,three, or four rows at once, and more feet'can'be added, if desired. v i

When the marker is not in use the ends can be thrown up in this way, andthus occupy very little room, and it is also very convenientintransportation.

This marker, as represented, is for marking the rows about four feetapart, but they can be marked nearer by moving the feettowards eachother, slots, I, being cut in the bars for that purpose, thus renderingthe feet adjustable, and allowing'them to be moved further from ornearer to, as is desired to mark the rows nearer or further apart.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- The arms E, braced and hinged to the frzime A, and markers .13, incombination with the frame A and adjustable markers B,.suhstantiaily asand for the purpose set forth.
